"Because of the size of my oven, I baked all the batter in a bundt pan for 50 min. It came out perfect. I used half applesauce/ half oil. The cranberries tartness was complimented by the sugary batter. Great recipe."

"This truly must be the best zucchini bread I have ever had. You honestly can't even tell there is zucchini in it. The cinnamon and nutmeg really take it over the top. I made it exactly the first time. Then the second time (in the same week) I made it with 3/4 cup applesauce and 1/4 cup oil and did half white whole wheat flour and half all purpose flour. I used cranberries that I had in my freezer that I had bought fresh at Christmas time and then froze. Everybody loved this and asked for more."
